Hello!
There is such a problem in the network. There is a C9500-40X core, it is responsible only for the user segment of the LAN (desktop PC, IP phones, printers, air conditioners, UPS, video cameras, etc.). Eleven floors are connected to it via MM fiber, two Cisco SFP-10G-SR-S modules, on each floor there is a stack of two or three C9300-48P, several neighboring buildings are also connected via SM fiber, two Cisco SFP+ 10G LRM modules, interfaces are aggregated everywhere. Everything was always fine, but for a month now, every week, the connection with the fifth floor is lost, maybe during the day, maybe at night. I changed the SFP modules both on the floor and on the core, changed the optical patch cord and rebooted the stack on the fifth floor. If you look at the channel status on the stack, when the connection is lost, then the aggregated interfaces show suspended at this time, at the moment I have disassembled the aggregation between the floor and the core, last night the connection was lost again, but after four minutes it was restored by itself.
The network core is a VTPv3 Primary Server domain, all other switches are clients. In general, there are no problems in the network globally. I cannot understand whether there is a loop somewhere, or the problem is in the optical line between the floor and the server room. The building is new, less than three years ago it was put into operation.
On July 22, when I first disassembled the aggregation on the fifth floor, then began to disassemble the network core, but did not physically disconnect the fiber optics, the network went down in the user segment, rose immediately after the physical disconnection of the fiber optics to the fifth floor. What broadcast\multicast indicator is considered abnormal if there is a loop in the network?

This information was not in available to us.
Put the etherchannel config back in.
If the link (with/without etherchannel) went down overnight, post the complete output of the following command taken from the 9500:
sh log | include [23]/1/8

There is no information output, both on the core and on the fifth floor switch

OK. I'll return the aggregation a little later.

That's because the "sh log" filter is incorrect.
Please use the following command:
sh log | include [23]/1/8

- @eugeneworon I don't want to stress my opinions , but you really need to engage in configuring logging and examine logs, especially when dealing with intermittent issues or 'it was working before' (revisit my initial reply too!)

I noticed that on all switches of the access or aggregation level, it shows the Vlan root role, but on the core it is designed. As I understand it, it has always been like this in the network, separately priority or root primary on Vlan is not configured

Hi friend
From all of above
You have issue with PO it seems to me issue of unidirectional of one port of member port.
How we can check that
Show lacp counters <<- check if all PO port member send receive lacp
Show spanning tree interface <PO>
You must see PO only receive bdpu' i.e. receive bdpu count is increasing.

I set up a port channel on Thursday, today it crashed again
I don't think it's aggregation. Without aggregation, the ports were also disconnected, but they turned on automatically within five minutes.

Please read and understand the error message: The EtherChannel has been suspended, i. e. not even working, because the remote end is not configured as EtherChannel.
The switch then crashed because someone enabled auto-recovery of error-disable of EtherChannel, a really dumb thing to do.

Thanks for sharing more info
But I was clear
I need to see
Show lacp counter <<- in both SW connect by PO with issue
Show spanning tree interface PO <<- in both SW connect by PO with issue
